The Obvious Choice

Forget becoming an influencer. This podcast is for people searching for a simpler way to make more money, help more people, and have more freedom. No matter who you are and no matter what you sell, your customer is a human. And yet, marketing these days feels so (in)human. Filled with frameworks, entertaining stories, and admittedly bad-Dad jokes, The Obvious Choice is a much-needed recalibration and, at times, a refreshing slap for a business generation that’s lost its way. New episodes ship out Mondays along with short, business hotseats every Wednesday.

    294 | The Minimalist Guide to Living a Happy and Free Life (Part 2 of 3)

    Are you tired of doing it all?  In part 2 of our special series on Jonathan’s minimalist approach to living, he challenges the idea that being well-rounded is the key to success. Instead, Jonathan dives into the power of finding and focusing on your “thing”--the unique strength that energizes you, even when it’s tough.  He shares why focusing on what you do best (a lesson not taught in school) can lead to a more fulfilling life, rather than trying to balance a range of skills that drain your passion. Jonathan also talks candidly about letting go of control and how this unexpected move gave him more freedom to focus on his passion for writing and living a purposeful life. From embracing specialized mastery, to the paradox of giving, to creating rules that reduce decision fatigue, this episode on minimalist living is a must-listen. Tune in now to start shifting from busy to simplified and purposeful living! Key Takeaways: (00:00) Introduction  (00:38) The wedding anniversary trek in Albania (06:37) Why you should find and focus on your “thing” (17:37) Leapfrog skills for success (24:33) The giving paradox: Give more to get more (29:49) How choice minimalism can be life-changing (32:02) Creating rules to reduce decision fatigue (36:42) Episode wrap-up  -- Watch or listen to episode 279 | The Truth About Having It All: https://youtu.be/uGLOH0ibGrI -- Jon's next book, The Obvious Choice, published by HarperCollins, is now available for preorder on Amazon in Hardcover, Kindle, and Audio.
